A Birmingham man was today behind bars after launching a vicious assault on a teenager who simply rejected his advances.

Violent thug Atieb Osman, from Handsworth, punched and kicked his 17-year-old victim before dragging her across the road and stamping on her collarbone, breaking it.

The 20-year-old was found guilty of assault at Birmingham Crown Court at an earlier hearing and was yesterday jailed for 19 months

West Midlands Police said Osman attacked the girl on Stafford Road in Handsworth on February 10 after she turned down his advances.

The victim was walking home from college when she was approached by Osman in his car.

He tried speaking to the girl but when she told him she wasn’t interested, Osman jumped from the vehicle and confronted her.

Police said he threw a milkshake over her before pummelling her with punches and kicks.

He then dragged her across the road and stamp on her collarbone. Police said the victim was still undergoing physiotherapy for her injuries.

DC Gareth Homer was the officer in charge of the case, he said: “This was an extremely vicious and unprovoked attack on a young girl going about her day. Osman is clearly a dangerous man who is now serving a custodial sentence where he belongs.

“I hope that the sentence Osman has received offers some comfort to the victim and her family.”
